CHOCOLATE TART RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the crust: In a food processor, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and salt and pulse to incorporate. Add the butter, a few cubes at a time, and pulse until broken down to pea-sized pieces.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, vanilla, and water. Slowly drizzle the egg yolk mixture into the food processor and pulse until the dough starts to come together but is not yet fully incorporated, 2-3 minutes.
• Turn the dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap, wrap tightly, and shape into a 1-inch-thick disc. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 2 days.
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easy rolling.
• Place the dough disc between 2 sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll out to an 11-inch circle about ⅛ inch thick, starting from the center and rolling away from you and rotating the dough 90° every few rolls to ensure even thickness. If the edges of the dough crack, use the rolling pin to bring them back together. If the dough softens too much, refrigerate for a few minutes to re-solidify.
• Carefully roll the dough onto the rolling pin, then unroll over a 9-inch tart pan and gently press against the bottom and sides. Roll the rolling pin over the pan to trim the edges of the crust flush with the pan. Patch any holes around the edges with the excess dough. Use a fork to prick holes all over the crust. Freeze for about 20 minutes, until the dough is firm.
• Arrange an oven rack in the center position. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Crumple a sheet of parchment paper in your hands, then unwrap and press flush against the crust, covering the edges to prevent them from burning. Fill the center of the crust with pie weights and spread in an even layer to cover the entire surface.
• Bake the crust for 15 minutes, until partially baked and the parchment no longer sticks to the dough. Carefully remove the parchment and pie weights. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C) and continue baking for another 15 minutes, until the bottom of the crust is starting to brown. Carefully transfer the tart pan to a wire rack and let cool for 30 minutes.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
• Make the filling: Chop the chocolate.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and salt. Warm over medium-low heat until simmering gently around the edges of the pot, about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat, add the chopped chocolate, and stir to combine. Cover for 5 minutes, then uncover and whisk until chocolate is melted and smooth.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla. Slowly pour a bit of the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly, to temper, then pour in the remaining chocolate mixture and whisk to combine.
• Strain the filling through a fine-mesh sieve into a spouted measuring cup, then pour into the cooled tart shell and spread evenly with an offset spatula.
• Bake the tart for 25-30 minutes, until the filling is set and the surface is glossy.
• Carefully remove the tart from the oven and transfer to the wire rack to cool for at least 45 minutes.
• Make the mirror glaze: In a small bowl, soak the gelatin sheets in the ice water to bloom, about 5 minutes.
• In a small pot, combine the sugar and room temperature water and bring to a boil over medium-low heat. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the pot from the heat and sift in the cocoa powder. Stir to combine.
• In another small pot, heat the cream over medium-low heat until starting to simmer. Slowly pour the hot cream into the cocoa mixture and gently whisk to combine. Be careful not to incorporate any air.
• Once the gelatin has softened, lift the sheets from the cold water and wring out any excess water. Add the gelatin sheets to the cocoa and cream mixture and stir until fully dissolved.
• Let the glaze cool until the temperature reaches between 90-110°F (32-43°C), or warm to the touch but no longer hot.
• Strain the glaze through a fine-mesh sieve into a spouted measuring cup. Pour the glaze over the tart, using an offset spatula to cover evenly. Refrigerate the tart for about 1 hour to allow the mirror glaze to set.
• Generously sprinkle flaky sea salt over the tart, then slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
• Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE CHESTNUT TART WITH RUM WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Prepare the dough: in the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the flour, confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder and a pinch of salt. Pulse in the butter, egg yolk and vanilla until dough just comes together. Form into a disk. Wrap with plastic wrap and chill at least 1 hour or overnight.
• When you are ready to bake the crust, heat the oven to 325 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into an 11-inch circle. Press into a 9-inch tart pan and trim the edges. Prick the bottom of the dough all over with a fork; chill for 20 minutes or until firm. Cover the dough with a sheet of aluminum foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until pastry is dry and firm, about 15 minutes longer. Cool completely.
• Make the filling: in a saucepan over medium heat, combine the chestnuts, milk, cream, sugar and a pinch of salt. Use the tip of a knife to scrape the vanilla seeds into the pot and then drop in the pod. Simmer until chestnuts are very soft, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool. Discard vanilla pod.
• Purée the filling in a food processor until very smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape into the tart shell and smooth the top.
• Make the whipped cream: whip the cream and confectioners' sugar until thickened. Whip in the rum. Spread the whipped cream over the chestnut filling. Using a vegetable peeler, shave chocolate curls over the top. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER TART WITH CARAMEL-PEANUT GLAZE

Steps:

• For Crust:.
• Dump prepared pie crusts into a gallon size Ziploc bag and crush until it is all crumbs.
• Add melted butter and mix thoroughly until all crumbs are moistened.
• Press into bottom and up sides of a 9" fluted tart pan with removable bottom.
• Bake crust in 350°F oven for 10 minutes.
• For Filling:.
• Stir 1/3 cup brown sugar, 3 Tbs cream, and butter in medium sauce pan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Cool completely.
• Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese, peanut butter, and vanilla in medium bowl until smooth. Stir in brown sugar mixture.
• Using electric mixer, beat remaining 2 Tbsp brown sugar and 1/4 cream in another medium bowl until peaks form. Fold into peanut butter mixture.
• Transfer to crust and smooth top with spatula.
• Chill until set, about 3 hours.
• For Caramel-Peanut Glaze:.
• Stir brown sugar, butter, 1/4 cup water, 2 Tbs cream, and corn syrup in heavy medium sauce pan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and boil without stirring until candy thermometer registers 238°F (about 7 minutes). Remove from heat.
• Stir in remaining 2 Tbsp cream and 3/4 cup of peanuts.
• Cool just to lukewarm (about 15 minutes), then pour glaze atop filling, smoothing with a spatula.
• Melt chocolate chips and pour into a Ziploc bag. Cut a small piece off one corner of the bag and drizzle the chocolate onto the tart in a spiral pattern, starting in the center. You should still have some chocolate left over.
• Using a knife, trace a line from the center of the tart to the edge 8 times, spacing evenly. In between those line, trace lines from the edge of the tart to the center. You should have 16 lines total, resulting in a web pattern (see picture).
• Using remaining melted chocolate, trace the lines of the "web" near the center of the tart to create a flower-like pattern. Pipe some chocolate in the center as well for the middle of the flower (see picture).
• Fill "petals" of the flower with chopped peanuts (you will probably not use all of the rest).
• Chill tart until set (about 30 minutes). Cut into wedges and serve.
• Note: Can be made up to 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
